Interesting question. ThinkPenguin seems to be willing to take that risk, but hedges it by voiding the warranty: "Backdoors in modern computing devices are unfortunately a certainty today and while we can't be sure of a fix here it is possible to partially disable one component believed to be a problem. This option does have side-effects and will void any return." [1] (AFAICT, that laptop has the ME "disabled" if the buyer wishes, but it does not ship with Coreboot or Libreboot.)
